Purchased this helmet April 2025, the manufacture date is March 2022, so this helmet has been sitting for 3 years. And the GIRO website recommends replacing a helmet every 3-5 years. So technically I am already at the limit without even having worn it or I only have two years to wear it.
Helmet Design preferences are unique to every cyclist, it so happens that this suits mine. The vents are enough for my liking. Rode in an 80°F sunny weather for 2 hours and this was comfortable. My head did not feel hot. The helmet strap was unobtrusive and can accommodate different head lengths. The ratcheting mechanism to make it snug is typical Giro quality. Making this as my cool or wet weather helmet to better protect my noggin from those elements.
Surprisingly good fit for my oddly shaped head. I have a hard time finding helmets that fit comfortably. Took a chance on this because of the casual look and low price. A cycling cap will not fit underneath it, but the visor is an adequate substitute. I wish it sat a bit lower on my head, but I have that problem with most helmets.
